</ul>
<?php endwhile; ?>
but i want show this using shortcode.which using category & post number
but i can not make shortcode
A shortcode is a PHP function. You need a function that accepts all your arguments. For example-
function get_posts($atts) {
extract( shortcode_atts( array(
'cat_id' => 'cat_id',
'num_posts' => 'num_posts'
), $atts ) );
$loop = array(
'cat' => $cat_id,
'posts_per_page' => $num_posts
);
if ( $loop->have_posts() ) :
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
// YOUR CODE HERE
endwhile;
endif;
}
add_shortcode( 'getposts', 'get_posts' );
Your Shortcode will look like this-
getposts[cat_id="1", num_posts="5"]
This code have not been tested but this is pretty much how you do it
First of all you just change your function name.
In wordpress get_posts() is one function so you did not create your custom function same name.
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_posts/
Add this code in function.php
and this is your shortcode "[my_form_shortcode cat="1" showposts="5"]".
function my_form_shortcode($atts) {
ob_start();
$atts = shortcode_atts(
array(
'cat' => '1',
'showposts' => '5',
), $atts, 'my_form_shortcode' );
//YOUR CODE START
$recent = new WP_Query();
$query = "cat=".$atts['cat']."&showposts=".$atts['showposts'];
$recent->query( $query );
$is_first_post = true;
while( $recent->have_posts() ) : $recent->the_post(); ?>
<ul>
<li>
<?php
if ( $is_first_post && has_post_thumbnail() ) {
the_post_thumbnail();
$is_first_post = false;
}
?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
<?php endwhile;
//YOUR CODE END
return ob_get_clean();
}
add_shortcode( 'my_form_shortcode', 'my_form_shortcode' );
function ShowProduct()
{
$data = "Welcome to wordpress shortcode.";
return $data;
}
add_shortcode('products', 'ShowProduct');
